Online Teaching

Planning Instruction for Online Delivery

Teaching online is a great time to rethink your courses and determine how to integrate available technologies and resources, matching them to your course content, learning objectives and student needs. Online education provides the student with “any time/any place” instruction. Unlike the face-to-face, on-campus classroom, eLearning is a method of course delivery unbound by time or location allowing students to access instruction via the Internet 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Effective online education is designed to provide sufficient contact, instruction, evaluation and interaction that makes the online course as effective a teaching/learning experience as a traditional, on-campus course. The following books in the Jossey-Bass Guides to Online Teaching and Learning series are available in the CTE Faculty Library to assist in developing and delivering effective online instruction.
